Chapter 310: Sur City (Part I)

"Caesar!"

The voice of Baku sounded in the cottage in the morning, and Caesar frowned and walked out of the wooden house with a crystal spear in hand. His hut was built on a high rock, with a wooden fence along the edge of the boulder. Caesar leaned on the wooden fence and looked at Baku below.

Baku shouted: "I have discussed with a few brothers, we must return the color to the city of Sur. Caesar, we have to fight! โ€

Caesar sighed in his heart and beckoned, "Can I say a few words to you alone?" โ€

Baku walked up and went into the house with Caesar. In the room, the sunlight outside the window fell on the bones of the ancestors of the Baimon people, which were their sacred relics. Baku bowed to the ground, threw himself on the ground and bowed to the holy relics, and then stood up.

"Baku, I understand your feelings. But it won't do us any good to do that. Caesar said.

Baku's chest heaved: "Is it good to keep cowering here?" That will only make the people of Sur City look down on us, and they will think that the Baimon are a kind of bastard to be bullied! โ€

"But that would only lead to war, real war."

"Didn't they start a war two years ago? Caesar, the war began two years ago. Don't you want to avenge your son? Or have these two years made you weak? โ€

Caesar walked over, his eyes gradually becoming fierce: "Are you questioning me?" Questioning the leader of this tribe? Baku, who gave you such power! โ€

The crystal spear slammed to the ground, and there was a muffled thud, knocking Baku's heart thump. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Baku will never doubt you, my chief. โ€

Caesar sighed and put his hand around Baku's shoulder. The foreheads of the two touched lightly, and Caesar said, "I am like you, Baku." My heart was also filled with anger and sadness, and I couldn't forget the image of Jima lying in my hands with her eyes closed. Yes, I can see that picture almost every night. โ€

"But hatred can't change the facts, and more importantly, it can drag our people to hell. For the sake of your wrath and mine, shall we bring the whole people to the burial? I can't do it, bro. โ€

Letting go of Baku, Caesar shook his head and said, "So, stop thinking about it, can you promise me?" โ€

Baku bowed his head: "Well, I promise you." โ€

Leaving the cabin, Baku came to a room with the skull of a beast hanging from it. He pushed the door open and entered, it was his room. Two years ago, there was his joy and happiness in this room. Two years later, there is nothing but grief and endless resentment. There were four or five people in the room waiting for news from him, and when Baku came in, they suddenly stood up.

Baku shook his head and said, "Caesar is no longer the Caesar he used to be, he has become weak and has no fighting spirit. He refused to fight, but I couldn't do nothing. Sooner or later, the army of Sur City will come, and only by killing their lord can this qiฤ“ end. โ€

He lowered his voice and shouted, "Who wants to go with me!" For, take revenge on the bastards who killed our family! Even if the road ahead is hell, I willingly embrace it! โ€

The men all nodded solemnly, and that morning, a group of men quietly left the stockade.

The morning after Baku and the others left, Alan also set out from the camp to prepare for the city of Sur. In addition to Belmode, Willik, and Edward, he was joined by a magician Jim. Jim's injured arm had been treated by Father Mirรณ as necessary, but the priest's first aid homework was clearly inadequate, making Jim's arm, which was tied up with sterile bandages, look like a bloated hoof.

Alan and the others changed into clothes looted from the adventurers to disguise their identities. Of course, in order to make the clothes fit more closely, it took Lucy and Adele a day for the girls, otherwise Alan and the others would have set off yesterday.

From Jim's mouth, I learned that the more developed industry in Sur City was the cotton spinning industry. Farmers grow cotton outside the city, harvest it and hand it over to the city's artisan workshops for processing, and finally weave cotton cloth and ship it to other cities for sale. This is one of the main industries in Sur City, and it is a good entry point for Edwards to bring their clothes and disguise themselves as cotton spinners from afar.

The only one who knows who they are is Jim, but the way he looks at Alan and Belmode, the chances of the magician betraying them are almost zero.

Jim was familiar with the Asr Mountains, and it seemed that they had done enough before attacking the Baimon Cottage. At noon they rested by the river, and Jim sat alone and put bread in his mouth with his other hand, which he could still move.

"Do you want water?" Alan handed over a kettle.

Jim hesitated a little before taking it. Alan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Jim, follow me." Soon you will know that you have made a fairly wise choice. I will give you a fortune that you could not have imagined as an adventurer, provided that you are faithful. โ€

The magician immediately jumped to his feet, reached out and clenched his fist to his chest, and said, "Jim will be loyal to you forever, my young master." โ€

"So, who is your master?" Alan asked.

Jim rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Young Master Allen, who inherited a textile empire and came from afar from afar, isn't he?" โ€

"Yes, that's it. We're going to have some factories, and I thought, you'll be happy to take care of them for me? โ€

Jim's potential in terms of source power is limited, and such a person's growth to level 15 is already the limit. This can be seen from the fact that he is almost thirty, but he has not even broken through level 11. Rather than making him a half-combatant, let him run the local business for himself in the future, which is a more suitable job for Jim for a native.

Having seen Allen's well-armed guards and imposing "knights", Jim knew very well that his talent for magic was of no value to Allen. Now listening to Alan's prompt, he immediately and cleverly agreed.

Jim had infinite expectations for the young master, not least because of the starship he had never seen before, which convinced him that Eren had unlimited potential. At least, much better than his taken down head.

The leaves of the woods shook suddenly, apparently approaching. Eren gestured, and everyone gathered. Suddenly, a figure appeared from the other side of the river, led by Caesar. Caesar was also stunned when he saw Allen, and then said, "My friend, why are you dressed like this?" โ€

"Brave Caesar, we are on our way to Sur City." Alan smiled.

Caesar said vigilantly, "What are you going to Sur for?" โ€

"Rest assured, we will not betray our friends of the Bemengs. It's just that we're also merchants, and obviously we can't do anything in the Asz Mountains. Alan said.

Caesar did not doubt this statement. Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Alan asked, "It's you, why did you come here, it's a little far from the stockade." โ€

"We're going to Sur." Caesar said: "Baku they left yesterday, and some say that they went to the city of Sur, and Caesar has to stop them from bringing disaster to the stockade. โ€

Ed'er frowned slightly: "You are only leaving now, but I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." And if you show up again, it will only deepen the misunderstanding. โ€

Caesar sighed, "I know, but I have to." โ€

Alan said, "Well, we'll all have to go to Sur City." If we see Baku, we will persuade him to come back. โ€

"In that case...... Caesar threw the spar spear in his hand with great force, and the crystal spear fell at Allen's feet, "please take it with you, and if Baku refuses to come back, show him this thing." โ€

Alan knew that this should be a token, and he nodded and put away his spear: "I will return it to you with Baku." โ€

"Thank you, friend."

Glancing deeply at Allen, Caesar returned with his people.

At dusk, on a high slope, Baku is in dire sight. Not far from the slope, you can see a tall and low building, which is the city of Sur. The size of Sur City can only be considered a town when strictly calculated. It's just that the lord of the city, Baron York, was so happy that he didn't want to admit that his territory was just a big town, so he called it the city instead.

The city of Sur was protected by a perimeter of less than a perimeter, and the buildings in the city were not planned, so the streets were twisted and twisted from a distance. Except for a stone brick road leading from outside the city to the lord's mansion, which looked relatively regular, there was no other place in the city that could be called a road. It is also the main road of the city of Suhr, and the main road is mostly lined with workshops and shops. The city's merchants and powerful people are concentrated on this main road, so it is also the most prosperous area of the city.

When night falls, the main road is brightly lit, and the area on the edge of the city is dark, which is the slum of the city. The people there don't need such luxuries as electric lights. Of course, the brightest light is the Lord's Mansion, a three-story building that resembles a small castle, with a main building and winged towers on both sides, and a small square enclosed by a low wall.

Baron York lives in the Lord's Palace, which is also their target for the night in Baku. Baku pointed towards his target, and the first five Baimon nodded their heads, and then a group of six descended the hill and headed for the city of Sur in the night. Unfortunately, their assassination did not seem to go well, and it was not long before the sound of weapons clashing was heard near the city walls, mixed with the shouts and curses of the soldiers.

When a team of freshly dressed and angry knight guards arrived at the scene, Baku and the others were all captured. They were taken away by the city guards and thrown into prison to await trial. Their outcome was almost predictable: either they were pronounced to death, but they were sent as slaves to work in the mines, where they remained until they died. R1058
